Fabián Rodríguez

I help people understand and use business models enabled by free open source software, cryptography, and common sense. This includes GNU/Linux, server & desktop software and Bitcoin.

I am a freelance consultant and entrepreneur fluent in English, French and Spanish, based in Montreal ( http://legoutdulibre.com ). I founded my first company in 1987 and still code for fun & profit. As the Chief Ambassador at the Bitcoin Embassy I designed and hosted over 80 Bitcoin workshops.

I am actively involved in various social and technological projects of international significance as a strong proponent of software freedom and web autonomy, including Debian, Trisquel, LibreOffice and Mozilla.

I had the pleasure to meet Fabian Rodriguez in many events in Montreal: he is well active in the Open Source community. His passion, and enthusiasm about bitcoin pushed me to want to know more about the subject.

Fabian took the time I needed to explain me the principle behind this virtual currency, and helped me a lot to understand it as to getting into the action. His professionalism as a chief ambassador made him really earn that title: a real ambassador! Since Fabian Rodriguez is promoting this new technology in the greater Montreal area (and far beyond - let's say the web), he is creating a population of early adopter by networking, creating meetups, and speaking about the topic: people are more informed about the topic, and ready to be what I call, virtual evangelist (volunteer who like this so much that they are willing to promote it even if it's not their job).

Fabian is an expert on bitcoin related subjects among many many other things. He's very very smart and speaks fluently three languages. Definetly not an ordinary guy that you'll came across. Very funny, is the kind of person that you wish he lived in town to be able to share a beer on a daily basis.
